Defaults to ALL Files on save_as dialog (764 bytes, patch)
2010-07-08 16:34 UTC, Jorge Kalmbach 		committed Details | Review

Description Pacho Ramos 2009-11-09 21:34:08 UTC 
It causes strange behavior when saving a file to a directory that, for example, contains pdf files, as, with epiphany-2.28, nothing is listed, while with previous epiphany versions, all files were listed.

From my point of view, there is no sense to default to "all supported files" for download dialog, since epiphany won't even be used to open downloaded files. Then, it should  default to "all files" instead

Thanks a lot

Possibly related: today I visit a page where I should upload a picture but the filechooser didn't show any supported filetypes (not even 'All'). Therefore I was unable to pick any file with the filechooser...

Confirming. The save dialog should default to showing all files. The open dialog should default to showing only supported files.

Defaults to ALL Files on save_as dialog

Attached patch for Save_As dialog, the open dialog already shows ALL_SUPPORTED files by default.

Makes sense.

Thanks Jorge, I pushed your patch with a small addition to also show all files
on *every* save-as dialog (internally we have two).
